Re: Gowdy Japs

Epg5 backyard so you are now in Manila? Or maybe on the way. Enjoy your chickens and have a relaxing vacation. I envy you as I am still stuck here in the east coast. I intend to visit mr. Clem's farm in Oregon when we go to Seattle. I hope it is possible mr. Colt 39.

Yes Sir I got here late last night. It's now Saturday afternoon. I had a wonderful time playing with the chicken all morning . The COWAN RH cock shuffled me 4 times before I finally got a hold of him and then he pecked me several times , but that's ok 'coz I got to experience how powerful he hits. This is what happens when they are not handled regularly.

I fought against Sam in two states a few times. He was a real good guy.
I was only at Sam's place one time but while I was there he did have some red oriental chickens that looked more asil that he called japs but he also had some red japs that looked more Shamo or Malay type.

I know a guy that traded chickens with Sam over a 25 year period. He has Sam's red and black japs both and the red japs he has look more Shamo/Malay. I also know a guy in Illinois that has Sam's red japs direct and they look more like little asils.

A guy in Washington has the Gowdy's and they look more asil, I haven't talked to him. He has posted pics of them here and other sites. They look real nice.

I think that Sam tried and went through a few jap families like Boles did with various asil and orientals families playing around with them and always looking for some good ones.

Sam told me that the little ones were the tojos. The big red ones very well may be some type of jap.

I only had the black and the little red ones which were very good ails.

Re: Gowdy Japs

I bought a dozen eggs and hatched out 7 but one didnt make it so im left with 6 I still think 6 is a good start to begin with. I ordered them from Mr. JP this is my first time raising Japs they look nice i got some that where marked on the egg 1, 2, 3, from diffrent brood pen I got a few of each.

Re: Gowdy Japs

I like the looks of them lil black japs better and better all along Jim, but I know that them melvilles are quick strokin lil jokers, id be proud to have either in my yard but if I had to choose I guess Id lean on the pretty black japs as I know they about the same class if not the same as the asils with a lil better look.. no one in my area really in the asil game, talk about gettin a leg up lol

I bought from this guy and he sent me eggs but they come broken, he said it was an experimental packaging that's why plenty broke. So he said to me that he will replace it, but till today I keep reaching him and he will not reply on my email but i always see him online on chat. He also said he will refund me but still no response.
